FREAK FOLK; FEMALE SINGER-SONGWRITER
Originally from NorCal, now based in the LA area, Jessica Pratt has released her fourth album and the first in 5 years. This music has a spacey, hippy-ish vibe (Pitchfork calls it “hypnagogic folk music”), and Pratt’s voice and vocal approach remind me of 1960s pop chanteuses, but with tons of production (dreamy ambiance, infinite reverb, overlaid vocals). All songs are written or co-written by Pratt who also plays guitar & sometimes drums. She’s accompanied by keyboards, occasional sax, bass, drums.
